Striping for Multiple RAID Groups
•
Wide Striping
Distributing a single volume to multiple RAID groups makes I/O access from the server more efficient and
improves the performance.
RAID Migration
RAID Migration is a function that moves a volume to a different RAID group with the data integrity being
guaranteed. This allows easy redistribution of volumes among RAID groups in response to customer needs. RAID
Migration can be carried out while the system is running, and may also be used to switch data to a different
RAID level changing from RAID5 to RAID1+0, for example.
Note
To migrate volumes to FTRPs with ETERNUS CLI, use the Flexible Tier Migration function.
